Don't miss the brightly shining light

that's always there beside you.

Then I'm sure the rest just depends on your perception.

You don't have to search for it, just notice that it's there!

There's a tenderness that lies hidden behind the most common things:

A light that showers our days in color!

(Tiny Life) This world is constructed...
(Tiny Days) sekai wa dekiteru
(Tiny Days) ...by fragments of miracles!

(Tiny Heart) A feeling flows forth...

The Architect is Activated
Gourai!
Jinrai!
Frame Arms Girl Session...
- Go! - Here I come!
I'll infuse this with the excitement of today...
My luster will burst forth!
Once again, the heart quickens!
These raging flames become a steed I shall ride to the summit!
I'll win today!
I won't allow it!
Now to finish you off!
Not so fast.
What's that?
Who are you?
The Architect.
"Architect"?
I'm Gourai.
From whence did you come?
These questions are lost upon me.
Are you a Frame Arms Girl?
Affirmative.
Beginning data accumulation battle.
Did she just say "battle"?
It seems so...
A mysterious enemy appears, eh?
I don't know what's going on, but I will rise to the challenge!
Me too.
Initiating combat subroutine.
She disappeared!
Wait what?
Don't tell me, Ao-chan...
You know nothing at all, do you?
Huh? You're saying you two know her?
Of course. We Materia Sisters are the basis of all.
Then, that girl came next.
Allow me to explain!
Materia White! Materia Black!
and the Architect, who suddenly showed up on the battle stage!
I, Base, and the others owe them our lives!
Now I'm even more confused.
I see. So that's it.
What?! You know about this too, Sty-ko?
I've heard stories.
She has no physical body, and manifests only to carry out her programming.
You don't understand at all, do you?! You're a blockhead!
Don't call me a blockhead!
Oh, but hold on.
This doesn't seem like a normal battle.
So then, I'm gonna make some extra coin off this. Right?
Yes! I would assume so!
I knew it! Now I'm getting fired up!
Initiating Clone subroutine.
What is this?
These don't seem like multiples of her caused by some afterimage.
Indeed. They all seem to be genuine Architects.
What do we do?
She must have a weakness.
If she's only acting according to a program...
You mean...?
If we act outside those parameters, she won't be able to respond!
Ao! Send me the Violence Ram!
Got it!
I hope it'll hold up this time.
No response subroutine found.
Shifting to Basic Battle Tactics Subroutine A.
Are you okay?
Yes. Also, did you notice?
What?
In making all those copies of herself, it looks like the Architect has had to divide her energy.
We should be able to beat her in close-quarters combat!
Well done. Let's go!
Charge!
Change in battle tactics.
Initiating Close-Quarter Combat Subroutine 3B.
Jinrai: Specializes in close-quarters combat.
Gourai: Armaments also allow her to adapt to CQC.
No further data available. They are unknowns.
Jinrai! Are you all right?
Yes.
But she's strong.
This is no easy task.
What should we do, Gourai?
Let's join forces. First...
Gourai. Jinrai. Neither are able to fly.
Shifting to Aerial Combat Subroutine.
Jinrai! Use the hammer's shockwave!
Understood!
H-how's that?!
Winner: Gourai and Jinrai.
Jinrai!
Are you all right, Jinrai?
Yeah.
And the Architect?
Gone. We won!
Is that so? I'm glad.
She must have had data that neither of us can do aerial battles.
If we worked together, though. I bet we could even find a way to fly.
Battle complete.
That was a splendid battle.
You're quite good.
Importing battle data is impossible.
Reload...
Error.
No prior data.
What do you think happened to her?
Maybe she's never lost 'till now, so it's making her program buggy.
Program completion impossible...
Restart also impossible...
Critical error.
This is bad, huh?
Not to worry. Just leave this to me.
But how will you...?
I have the data.
This is called "shock therapy."
Smooch.
And this is proof of friendship.
A good battle can lead to friendship.
This is what we have learned since we came here.
Program restarting.
This was a fine battle indeed.
I'd say that it's one for the ages.
Let's meet here again.
We cannot. This program will end here.
So then, the next time we meet you, you'll be someone else?
That is kind of sad, isn't it?
Yes...
But you still have the battle data, right?
And please remember that proof of friendship.
Proof of friendship... Affirmative.
Any time you want a fight, we'll gladly take you on!
Next time, I will surely be the winner.
Because I shall have this data.
We'll be waiting. So, it's a promise.
A promise... Affirmative.
Aah, that was pretty emotional! I'm glad I got to see it!
If I can get paid for it at the same time, there's no way I can quit this!
I wanted to meet the Architect too! I'm jealous!
It looks like she shows up at random, so you'll just have to be patient.
But next time it'll be a different Architect, won't it?
Yeah. But even without these memories, she'll still remember somehow.
Right, Gourai?
Yes, Ao.
Huh? It's a delivery.
The Architect!
Program name: Architect.
Initiating cohabitation.
Whaaaat?!
Architect!
Welcome.
My, my, welcome.
We'll make you feel at home.
Yeah, welcome...
Wait, you do have a physical body?!
So they actually made one for her.
We have a spare room over there.
The Errand Race.
I'm in, like, support vehicle mode!
See? The cleaning robot's all fixed now, right?
I'm not sure "fixed" is the right word...
Not only can she put weapons together, she can even fix cleaning equipment.
Bukiko sure is great!
That's why I'm making sweet and sour pork, to thank her!
She totally loves this dish!
It doesn't feel like it's vacuuming anything, does it?
I'm in, like, support vehicle mode!
It's become a method of transport, hasn't it?
So now we can use it not just to clean but to change locales.
That's incredible!
I may not look it, but I'm a resourceful girl, right?
I mean, I'm making sweet and sour pork for my friend!
Hey, are you all even listening?!
Grain Vinegar
Oh, no! What have I done?!
I'm an expert when it comes to fried dishes,
but I forgot about the vinegar!
It'll just be pork!
There will be no sour to this pork!
It'll be crisp and golden, but without vinegar...!
Ao, I'll get some for you.
I'll buy the vinegar!
What gives? This isn't like you.
Please, just leave it to me.
Really? well, I might just take you up on that.
Eyes on the prize: vinegar for sweet and sour pork!
Agreed!
Give me a new name!
It has a point...
Okay: As of today, you are...
Sleipni-taro!
You're Sleipni-taro!
"Sleipni-taro"? What's with that?
Sleipnir is the name of the eight-legged warhorse of the gods.
Base, you certainly know a lot, don't you?
So why the "-taro"?
He's a guy, so Ni-taro for short!
It's a male now?
That has a nice ring for a warhorse.
"Sleipni-taro". Registered!
Okay. We'll be counting on you, Sleipni-taro!
You seem pretty happy about this, Gourai.
Yes. I have no aerial unit, so I'm glad to have a support vehicle.
All right, it's time to split into teams...
It's an errand race!
"Errand race"?
Yes. This, too, is a battle!
Whichever teams buys the vinegar and gets it to Ao first wins!
Sounds interesting. So, how do we form our teams?
Let's split into aerial and land-based teams.
Makes sense. So, it's me and Base.
Team Aerial!
Stylet and I will have you eating our contrails!
Jinrai and I will be the ground-based team. We'll move out using Sleipni-taro.
Understood! We shall dive forward like "the mounted horsemen of the Takeda clan!
You won't beat us that easy!
I wouldn't have it any other way.
So what about the Materia sisters?
We have acquired transportation of our own.
Just prior, when Architect-chan arrived.
Huh? What kind of transport?
Well, you two are your own team.
We won't lose just 'cause they've got stuff to ride on. Right, Base?
Of course not! We've got this!
What about Architect?
Oh, yeah. Architect, can you fly?
I am not fitted with flying equipment or associated subroutines.
I shall act on my own.
Is that so?
Well then, let's get started.
Please take your positions!
This is the Errand Race.
Start!
Oh! A playhouse. How wonderful. We should investigate.
We can't. We have to hurry.
Then let's increase our speed.
I'm speeding up!
Th-this is faster than expected, isn't it?
Hey, Gourai! You have to steer this thing!
The thing is... I don't know how to!
I'm in Freak out Mode!
P-please, stop!
Whoa, whoa! Easy there, wild horse!
M-my head is spinning!
I don't know what the Materia are up to, but it makes things easier for us.
Easy, easy, super easy!
With Stylet by my side, anything's possible!
We may as well take things easy.
Oh, hold on. Let's make a slight detour!
Wait, where are you...?
I wanna see the goats!
Now hold on!
Wow! Goats are so cute!
Base, let's go already.
Just a little longer!
Ooh, that little one is so cute!
Playing with goats, is she?
How befitting.
She should just keep playing with them.
Well, that's got those nuisances out of our hair.
Let's finish up our errand.
I remember thinking when they brought the Architect to us that it was a good idea to snag this drone.
Goodness! "Snag" doesn't sound nice at all.
We just borrowed it, right?
Forever?
But still just "borrowing" it, right?
Oh, dear. It's broken.
How unsightly.
Learning Mode: Errands.
Learning acquisition complete.
Implementing subroutine.
It's a sandstorm!
I can't see anything!
Sure enough, this city has its share of demons.
Fat, red, evil demons!
If Ni-taro can't help us, I think we're done for!
We're going to sink!
My whole body feels sticky and slimy!
This is the worst!
I'm all wet!
Come on, we have to hurry! Get a move on or-!
Huh? I can't fly!
You're right. Base can't fly either!
Our flying units must've broken when those goats licked us!
Base is sick of all this.
I hate this!
What next?
What, indeed, shall we do?
It's life or death.
We've been backed into a corner.
It's beautiful.
Yes. I'm sure it will be.
The pork! It's burned...
I've ruined it all!
I guess I kept the temperature too high...
I have returned.
Uh, welcome back!
The vinegar. This errand is complete.
Thank you...
But now, we've got the sour but no pork!
Go run another errand for me!
This time, for pork!
Pork...
Learning Mode: "Pork."
Data acquisition complete.
Once wild boars, now long since domesticated.
Some say they were cultivated in Japan during the Yatoi period,
And that their numbers grew during the Meiji period thanks to pig farms.
They then came to be regarded as a food source.
Pork is currently the number one meat in Japan.
It is extremely high in Vitamin B1, containing 10 times more than beer.
As such, it has restorative properties, and is widely regarded as an aid against summer fatigue.
Subroutine "Errand" - Resume.
Pork can be cheaply obtained at supermarkets and the like,
but three-breed hybrids such as
Black Hog and Iberico pork
